I work at a popular mid-century modern furniture store.  I am used to high quality.  I am on a budget as I am prepping for a wedding and preparing for foster-to-adopt.  This bed perfectly fit my current budget.  Assembly took some time, as every piece  had to be assembled.  The quality seems pretty well made.  I love the walnut finish.  I do wish the ladder could be rotated.  It cannot be rotated.  If you love a walnut finish and are on a budget, this is a great find.
